@Graeme91eire @PaulieM80 He moved back to Ireland then. Doesn't change the fact there wasn't as much work in the West before that.

@FlangeFlanders @PaulieM80 So im guessing he found work in 94 when it started
English
Half the team were kids of immigrants living abroad, ya thick clown
Patrice Johnson 🇮🇪@patricej36
Ireland now is completely different to Ireland in the 90s. Diversity has destroyed the social cohesion we once had.

@Graeme91eire @PaulieM80 Celtic tiger didn't start until 1995. I said the 90s.
English
@FlangeFlanders @PaulieM80 Your father cudnt get work during the celtic boom ? Sorry to say but he must of been lazy or looking to leave yas, people left jobs on a friday found a new place to start Monday that weekend.
English
@FlangeFlanders @PaulieM80 Really. I was working in Dublin building sites in 1990.
My salary was 400 punts a week and my rent was 30 punts a week. Pubs were full every night.
I bought a house aged 25. On a single salary.

@Angel44Irish @PaulieM80 You must not be Irish, the early 90s still wasn't booming. Dad also has the courage to post under his own name...
English
@FlangeFlanders @PaulieM80 Your dad wasn’t very bright then as loads of jobs in the 90’s in Ireland.

@rorymcevoy Great to hear Rory, I'm 3 years post tongue cancer scc out of Luke's. Couldn't praise the team and the place enough, incredible care.
English
Good news anyone? I had my 6-month scan in St Luke’s today. All clear! That’s 51 months now, with a final scan in one year🙏
Always happy to share my story, offer tips on my journey etc.
Nasopharyngeal Cancer Stage III was my diagnosis. Thankfully I was one of the lucky ones.

@EwanMacKenna @JackPosobiec @KevinPosobiec Genuine question, not trying to be smart, you say you wont charge.....should you not be paying them to come on your podcast? just something I've wondered about media - have wondered how it works on current affairs shows
English
Happy to have either or both @JackPosobiec and @KevinPosobiec on pod. Won't charge and will release free to avoid grift or sell etc. Fair but frank. I think I know US foreign policy and Ireland and political ideology well. They seem to think I'm a beta communist. Man up so?

@suemcco11 the amount of bots and faceless accounts on this site now is ridiculous, it'd be infinitely better if people had to put up real pics and names.
English
Ppl on social media especially twitter have lost ALL ABILITY to disagree with eachother in an adult, respectful manner & it’s spilling over to the real world too. ppl used to allow discussion & different opinions but now it’s like oh you disagree with me? here’s a bunch of insults & anger thrown your way to try shut you down because I won’t hear your opinion because i’m right you’re wrong, attack attack attack. Ugh so many ppl just are just done in these days 🙄🙄🤦🏼♀️
English
@PlayerGaelic Not to mention an inherent unfairness to the provincial structures. Some teams might qualify for the final after winning 1 game, some need 3 or even more.
English
There is something inherently wrong with a championship structure that can leave counties with a 6-7 week wait until the next fixture.
Two separate competitions, with one unable to begin until the other finishes…..and all because of the insistence of the few.
Agree or not?

@DavidSc36517670 @RMcGreevy1301 @EoinLenihan Yes, higher specialist training. Like I do. Hope this helps. I'm sure Eoin is happy for you to have his back.

@FlangeFlanders @RMcGreevy1301 @EoinLenihan If not take these twice a day and come back and see me in 6 weeks

@DavidSc36517670 @RMcGreevy1301 @EoinLenihan I'll have to make that disclosure to a patient the next time they land in with chest pain or acute shortness of breath.
English
@FlangeFlanders @RMcGreevy1301 @EoinLenihan Did ye write a thesis ?
Was it accepted as a contribution to the academic subject of medicine by yer peers ?
English
@DavidSc36517670 @RMcGreevy1301 @EoinLenihan I'm a medical doctor. I don't use Dr. But after all the years of study, 24 hour shifts and years of training, you can be sure as hell I earned the title.
English
@RMcGreevy1301 @EoinLenihan A medical practitioner is allowed the title of doctor without completing a PHD .
They are not in fact Doctors of any academic standing .
Dr Lenihan earned the title .
As an educated man and a journalist ye should know this
Do better .

@DLynchSport And boring analysis is prioritised over highlights.
English
It’s when you see it all laid out like this that you really can understand why having one show on the Sunday night to cram the Sunday games into is just way too tight; and that’s even on a weekend where there’s a Saturday game also.

@brianmlucey He'd get some land if an election was called tomorrow and labour and the soc Dems get into power!

It must be fun to live in such a fantasy land.
Cillian@CilComLFC
If the Irish Government collapses tomorrow, the ripple effects across Europe could be ENORMOUS. It would show people in the rest of Europe how easy it is to stop their Governments from destroying their Countries, if they just stand up and FIGHT BACK!!! Please let it happen! 🙏

@SmallerFishGAA Not to forget safe, boring analysis, a lack of in game innovation (e.g. in screen replays, behind goal shots for kick outs, a complete focus on the glamorous games rather than show smaller gounties) etc. TG4 brings much better coverage but doesn't get the championship.
English
On the topic of marketing the games
RTE are the main broadcast rights holder that do no midweek TV chat show.
They have the highlights rights but don't use them to do a midweek analysis show.
They try to jam hurling and football into the same Sunday night highlights show, despite the number of games exploding
They did a championship preview chat and hid it on the player
They completely ignore club season until county final time
Imagine the lack of self awareness you'd need to have to put this out as a promo clip

‘Bring it on…we really need to be better at marketing our games’ – Paul Flynn and Enda McGinley back the prospect of Friday night games

It's probably similar in how The taoiseach and tanaiste have reacted to protesters whereas I have seen local govt tds engaged with with respect and openly
English
Rather than actually engaged with those involved. Face to face journalism is still needed. I would have varying views about it and I know there are some guriers hitching their cart but vast majority outside Dublin are hard working people who are at the pin of their collar. (2/n)
English
@cooper_m , big fan of P2P pod as well as a subscriber, also generally enjoy John Deasy and Brenda Power. I know it's 2 days old now but I'm shocked at how out of touch they were at the fuel protests. It struck me as being commentators who've followed protests via socials (1/n)
